By day I work on systems at the Dutch Tax Administration. By night I build my own projects, from the first design to the server they run on. Everything on this page is live: the numbers below come straight from those projects.

01 — Work
A pre-flight briefing for your drone
Pick a place and your drone, and see at a glance whether you can fly: a single score from 0 to 100, the best flight windows for the next 48 hours and an outlook for the week.
My travel journal, as postcards
A personal travel journal: every trip a postcard with photos, a story and a pin on a spinning globe. With its own editor for adding and editing trips.
Learn how AI works by doing it
An interactive practice site for my AI workshops, in the style of Codecademy. Six topics, from how a model learns to steering an agent, each with five levels from bronze to diamond.
02 — How it runs
No hosting package, but my own VPS that I set up and secured myself. Every push to GitHub is built and rolled out automatically by Coolify, in Docker containers behind HTTPS. Databases run separately, with a backup to off-site storage every night.

I’m a software developer. After my BSc in Computer Science at Rotterdam University of Applied Sciences I worked at ICT Group on business-critical systems for clients such as ProRail, Maasvlakte 2 and several Dutch water authorities. Since 2025 I’ve been working at the Dutch Tax Administration on the applications for motor vehicle tax.
Outside work I build things for myself: tools I actually want to use, around my hobbies of drones and travel. I like doing the whole journey, from design and code to the server it runs on. This site, DroneAI and Atlas all run on my own VPS.
